135: Huh? Does that make sense?

The person who came was none other than Shen Qingqiu.

However, his expression at this moment was not very pleasant.

But then again, Chu Mo and the other two caused such a stir at Shen Jian Sect, almost completely disgracing the entire Shen Jian Sect and making them the laughingstock of the world.

Anyone in that situation would feel the same.

"Come with me!"

Chu Mo stood up, feeling a bit nervous: "Where... where are we going? Can we go back to Xuanxiao Sect? I still have a lot of assignments to give out..."

Huo Tianyi stood beside Chu Mo, not even daring to breathe loudly. If this matter was truly discussed, he was entirely responsible.

"The three of you caused such a mess at Shen Jian Sect; do you still want to remain uninvolved? Shouldn't there be an explanation!"

Shen Qingqiu had his back to the two, not turning his head. Chu Mo couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

However, Old Li was disloyal!

He said he was short on funds and staying here would not only be of little help to them but also a waste of points.

So, he decisively ran away.

Leaving only himself and Huo Tianyi to face the subsequent repercussions of the Shen Jian Sect 'team building' incident.

At this moment, the usually honest Huo Tianyi quietly moved closer to Chu Mo and transmitted his voice: "How about we pin all the blame on Junior Brother Li?"

He wasn't too clear about where Li Tian Ce had gone.

However, before leaving, Li Tian Ce had explained that he was going to his ancestral land, where his safety would be fully guaranteed, and all the blame could be pushed onto him.

Now, facing Shen Qingqiu coming to apprehend them,

the two of them definitely couldn't escape. Otherwise, they could try to shift the blame to the absolutely safe Li Tian Ce.

Chu Mo looked at Huo Tianyi in surprise.

This honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes had completely changed and even learned to shift blame.

However,

would Shen Qingqiu believe them if they said that?

He personally thought it was unlikely.

Inside the inn, many onlookers also started discussing the situation.

"What's the gossip?!"

"Didn't they mention Xuanxiao Sect earlier? Judging by this person's attire, he must be an Immortal from an Immortal Sect!"

"What? An Immortal from an Immortal Sect? Then I must become his Disciple!"

"Don't go! These Immortals usually have bad tempers; don't lose your life for nothing!"

"......"

Although they were curious about what had happened, they all remained patient and did not disturb the three.

As Mortals, facing Immortals, they naturally tried to minimize their presence as much as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Shen Qingqiu, with his back to the crowd, showed no expression on his face, only his lips slightly parted.

"Do I still need to invite you two?"

Hiss!

The usually gentle and refined Senior Brother Shen had become so irritable now, which meant the trouble they caused must be significant.

Chu Mo and Huo Tianyi exchanged glances and, with perfect understanding, stepped forward and walked behind Shen Qingqiu.

"Senior Brother Shen, about this matter..."

"We can explain."

The two still wanted to defend themselves, but Shen Qingqiu gave them no chance, simply walking forward.

Flying into the clouds.

"What should we do?" Huo Tianyi looked at Chu Mo. Now, the only person he could rely on was Junior Brother Han beside him.

What he received was not Chu Mo's solution to the problem, but a sigh and a comforting pat on the shoulder.

"Tianyi! You've suffered!"

???? Huo Tianyi was full of question marks, completely unclear what Chu Mo meant by that. "Junior Brother Han, you..."

Just as he was about to say something, Chu Mo's figure disappeared in front of him, turning into specks of white light.

The last words he left for him were:

"Tianyi! You are a man, a man. You should take responsibility for your own actions. You don't want us to be implicated by your mistake, do you?! So, good luck! I'm off!"

"No, Junior Brother Han, you scoundrel!"

Watching another person who could share the pressure with him leave, Huo Tianyi felt numb.

"No! I can't sit by and do nothing! I have to save myself. If I'm taken away by Senior Brother Shen after causing such a big mess, I'll definitely be thrown into the cold prison."

Huo Tianyi, who was just about to run away, turned around and was met with the ice-cold Shen Qingqiu.

"Where is Han Li?"

"Junior Brother Han... he..." Huo Tianyi stammered, feeling immense pressure under Shen Qingqiu's gaze.

However, he seemed to have no means of escape.

With a resolute heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Brother Shen, all of this was my doing. It has nothing to do with Junior Brother Han and Junior Brother Li. If Shen Jian Sect wants to kill or skin me, just come at me."

At this moment, Huo Tianyi, with an Aura of facing death fearlessly, chose to take responsibility for the two of them.

Just as Chu Mo said, he was a man.

A man takes responsibility for his own actions!

This incident, in the final analysis, was because he hadn't read the instruction manual.

No matter the outcome, he accepted it.

However, the expected punishment did not appear; instead, an invitation appeared in Shen Qingqiu's hand.

However, his tone was very unfriendly.

"In the future, stop playing those crooked and Evil Path tricks. This is an invitation. Sect Master Sect Leader Liang of Shen Jian Sect asked me to give it to the three of you."

"Ah?" Huo Tianyi's eyes almost popped out.

An invi... invitation?

What's going on?! Is this still the Xuanling Continent language?

When Huo Tianyi opened the invitation, the expression on his face was incredibly strange, and his lips even trembled slightly.

"He... Hezong?"

"No, what exactly is going on? Shen Jian Sect is actually merging with Hehuan Sect?"

Although Shen Jian Sect consists entirely of male Disciples and Hehuan Sect entirely of female Disciples, a merger would be beneficial for Yin and Yang balance.

But, is this reasonable?

"The Sect Master of Shen Jian Sect and the Sect Master of Hehuan Sect are old acquaintances. When they were young, they traveled together and had a past relationship, and now..."

At this point, he paused and looked at Huo Tianyi, one of the culprits in front of him.

"The three of you drugged the Sect Master of Shen Jian Sect, causing him to desperately seek a cure, leading him to Hehuan Sect, where he performed the Dao of Yin and Yang with the Sect Master of Hehuan Sect. Furthermore, the two reconciled and decided to become Dao Companions. With their heart knots resolved, the Sect Master of Shen Jian Sect naturally achieved a Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation..."

Ah?

Ah??

Ah???

After listening to Shen Qingqiu's narration, Huo Tianyi felt as if this world had become unfamiliar.

Is this still the Xuanling Continent I know?

The Sect Master of the number one sword Sect, Shen Jian Sect, and the Sect Master of Hehuan Sect becoming Dao Companions? Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?

Huo Tianyi felt very 'gan' (a play on words, meaning 'damn' or 'screw it').

But, what was even more 'gan' was yet to come!

"After this incident, the Sect Master of Shen Jian Sect decided..." Shen Qingqiu's expression was incredibly strange, "He decided to become sworn brothers with the three of you."

Becoming sworn brothers with the Sect Master of Shen Jian Sect? This... is this definitely correct?

We're going to become sworn brothers with the Sect Master of Shen Jian Sect?

Ah?

Is this reasonable?

Then how should Xie Xuan address me in the future? Junior Martial Uncle?

At this moment, Huo Tianyi was in a fierce internal struggle. What was he to do? But upon closer thought, hey, it was quite exciting.

However...

"Junior Brother Han and Junior Brother Li ran too fast. I just don't know when they'll be back. I knew it; with my luck, how could I mess things up?"

Shen Qingqiu, however, did not think so.

Using despicable methods like Hehuan Powder was not the action of the Righteous Path; even the Demonic Path would not be so despicable.

Therefore, when his Junior Brother returned, he would have to give him a good ideological education lesson to prevent him from going astray.
